❝ I have had the privilege of knowing Bob Manor for over two decades, and in that time, he has proven to be more than just a friend; he's been a wise advisor, a resilient ally, and an empathetic confidant. Our journey together began on the golf course and eventually the Board of Directors at our private country club, where I served as President and Bob as Secretary. It was there that I first witnessed his remarkable ability to see things others don't, a skill that has only grown stronger over the years.

Bob has an uncanny knack for identifying the heart of an issue, whether in business or personal matters. His insights and observations often bring clarity to the most complex situations. It's this wisdom that made me frequently turn to him for feedback on issues, knowing that his perspective would not only be insightful but also profoundly predictive.

What sets Bob apart is his resilience. He's faced challenges that would have overwhelmed others, yet he's emerged stronger and wiser each time. This resilience isn't just personal; it extends to how he supports those around him, including myself. Whether offering a listening ear or a thoughtful suggestion, Bob has a way of helping you navigate through life's ups and downs with grace and fortitude.

In the years I've known him, Bob's friendship and counsel have been invaluable. His qualities of wisdom, resilience, empathy, and perceptiveness are rare, making him an extraordinary individual. I consider myself fortunate to have crossed paths with him, and I am confident that anyone who gets to know Bob will benefit immensely from his unique abilities and insights. ❞

❝ I am writing this recommendation with utmost pleasure to highly endorse Bob as an exceptional professional in the automotive industry. 

Bob exemplifies intelligence, possessing a deep understanding of the automotive industry. His insights into the market trends, regulations, and export processes are truly remarkable. His ability to analyze complex situations and provide valuable strategic recommendations is second to none. I have witnessed firsthand how his expertise and strategic thinking have contributed significantly to the success of his ventures and partners.

However, what truly sets Bob apart is his unwavering integrity. In an industry where your word is your bond, he consistently demonstrates an unwavering commitment to doing what is right. I have personally watched him make the rarest of decisions in automotive, passing on deals because it wasn't right for the customer. 

I wholeheartedly recommend Bob as a valuable asset to any organization, small or large.. ❞

❝ I first started doing business with Bob over 20 years ago. We got to know each other while we were both doing automotive wholesale. A few domains, like the vehicle wholesale vehicle trade, give you a deep insight into a person's character. Our relationship quickly transitioned to a mutual friend, mentor and confidant. Bob's insight into the car business and the people in it, on an international level, prove that he can recognize undercurrents and patterns that aren't visible to most. As a result, I come away from every conversation with a new perspective. ❞

❝ I first reached out to Bob a couple of years ago when I heard that he was working on creating a disruptive US warranty product that could be used on Canadian vehicles. His Can-Am Warranty bailed us out of quite a few Wranglers and has since become an industry standard. 

I have made a conscious effort to follow Bob’s activities in wholesale and export to see what he has next up his sleeve. He is a well-respected leader in our industry and has often been referred to as “Coach” by his peers. Personally, I refer to him as Mr. Wholesale.

There are some people in this industry that you just need to know…Bob is one of them. ❞

❝During our time working together at IndCom Leasing, I had the privilege of collaborating with Bob Manor. While I served as the Manager of Commercial and Consumer Credit, Bob distinguished himself as an outstanding broker. Bob consistently exhibited exceptional resilience, creativity, and adaptability in a rapidly evolving environment. When IndCom shifted its focus to incorporate consumer finance and introduced an online credit adjudication portal, Bob embraced the opportunity. Despite the obstacles of introducing a new product, Bob quickly secured significant accounts, including multi-office business clients and a national account.

Bob excelled not only in achieving remarkable outcomes but also demonstrated excellent interpersonal abilities, cultivating robust connections with both clients and colleagues. He continually showcased his capacity to maneuver through intricate situations with poise and leadership. Bob’s exceptional performance while I worked with him highlighted his value as a crucial asset to any team. I have complete confidence that he will continue to thrive in his future endeavours. ❞
